" While there is life there's hope,' he cried.' " Mgroto, dum animus est, spes est." DR. L. L. SMITH (The only legally-qualified Medical man advertising), CONSULTS— On all affections of the Netvous System (no matter from what cause arisiujr) ; on all broken-down Constitutions ; on all Diseases arising from early Indiscretions ; on Gout ; on Rheumatism. IN these Colonies, those excesses which we have indulged in " hot youth " tell upon us with fearful interest. • ■ : . , Our regrets . are useless, our repinings futile. The sole idea should be the chances we possess of remedying the ills we already have, or combatiDg the effects likely to result. Hide it as he may — put on aa good an exterior as he can — still is the victim conscious that he is a living lie, and that sooner or later his vices will discover him to the world. Our Faith— our obligations to society at large — the welfare of our iuture offspring— and the duty we owe to our6elve* — forbids procraati nation, and points out to us not to wait till the ravages break out in our constitutions. JJefore negotiating with a merchant ; before i engaging with a confidential' clerk; before employing a barrister-^ a careful ■ man makes inquiries as to their standing ; and, in the case of a legal adviser, both as to his legal qualifications and as to his capabilities of transacting the individual business he consults him upon. Strange to say, however, in the selection of a medical man, the sufferer fre.qtfently omits :theso necessary precautions, and without regard- to the fitness, qualification, experience, and ability for the particular ailment requiring treatment, he consults the ueareat man, whose experience and practice, perhaps, lies in quite au opposite direction. Is it astonishing that go many are driven mad, are ruined in health, and' are bankrupt in spirits, hope, anil money? Have. l not, for years, pointed out to them that" I, Dr. L. L Smith, am the only legally-qualified medical man advertising in the Colonies? Have I not also prosecuted, at my own expense, these very quacks, and exposed the various nostrums they >tre selling — such as Phospbodyiie, Essence of Life, &c— and had them analysed, and found them to oonsist of '' Burnt sugar and flavoring matter," and the certificates I have phoved to be all forgeries. It is lor this reason that I step out of the ethics of tbe profession and advertise, to give those who tequrie the services of my branch an opportunity of knowing they can consult a legally qualified man, and one moreover who has made, this his especial study. '■ Dr L L. Smith is the only legally qualified medical man advertising, and he has bepa in Melbourne 24 years in full practice on Nervous Dieeapes Loss of Powtr nnd Debility Syphilitic Affections Want of Condition Gout; and Rheumatism. Dr. L. L. SMITH can beconsulted by letter —Fee £i. Medicines forwarded Jo all he colonies. ; De. L. L. SMITH, 182 Collins et. East. (Late the Residence of the Governor), MELBOURNE. fIQS
